Phooey! I will defer defining feminism to 'sam', 'jam', Sophie, ar any
number of other contributors to net.women who (I'm sure) can give a more
concise definition than I can, but I WILL say, people I have known who
described themselves as feminists ranged from being passionately in love
with a man to hardly admitting them equal footing with insects. It's hardly
fair to define a group by its worst (or more specifically, least rational)
members.

Your plea for avoidance of reverse sexism might have been more effective if
it had not been preceded by this "definition".
